@Josaiplu thanks after rollback to 2.46.4 blood oxygen works when manually measured. But it still measures quite low 88-93%.
-
@Tomas5 ok I don’t use the feature, I’ve read that a hit fix is planned for the next days let’s keep fonget crossed for all these being fixed
-
@Josaiplu i am more curiouse about battery life too. I had to chatge after 9days only with very little of GPS activity. So it was noticable.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been a Race 2 owner for 10 days (after 4 years with the Fenix 6 Pro) and am actually quite happy with the Race 2, but I’ve read about some issues and bugs with the software here in the forum. To those who have been Suunto users for a long time: how does it work at Suunto? Can we expect regular updates that fix the bugs? I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Race 1.
Does that mean we just need to be a little patient with the Race 2 and the Software? -
@pgrob In general it’s good. But bug fixes take quite a time. If you don’t have any serious bugs, then the best is just not to read complaints from other users, otherwise it’s easy to fall down the “complaint spiral”, I have experienced it by myself. To sum it up, with Suunto patience is the name of the game. (Just my view)
-
@pgrob I have been with Suunto for years, and must admit I have no issues. A lot of the bugs don’t affect me, I’m not saying they don’t exist they just don’t affect me.
I have found the three modern Suunto watches I have had to be well made and reliable.
I think as mentioned above, it is easy to read this forum and see the worst…

@Audaxjoe It depends on what features of the watch you use. If you just use basic features like recording activities, it is all good. The minute you start using advanced features like navigation, climb guidance, customized modes, S+ apps, there are bugs that have been ignored for months and months. I can easily make a list of probably 10 bugs that I see regularly, at least 3 bugs that I experience almost every time I use navigation.
For example, how hard it is to fix this graph added to a custom sport mode so that it doesn’t always start with a flat line for the first 30-40 minutes? It should be an easy fix. But it has been over a year since I reported it, and nobody bothers to fix this very obvious bug:
This is something I see every single day because I use a custom sport mode.
-
@sky-runner this is weird. I also use custom sports modes for all activity types, but my HR graph doesn’t look like this. Hmm… Will test it tomorrow.
-
@sky-runner I use navigation all the time. I navigated from Faro to Andalusia this year. 2500km around Norway and lots in the UK.
Last year I navigation from Croatia to the Netherlands via ten countries.
And also use the watch in the mountains.
Hopefully that at least close to advanced usage…
And I always use custom sports modes… Well except for yoga.
I don’t use HR graph.
-
@OutdoorMan May it is because I have pace at the top and HR at the bottom. I’ll try to modify it and see if is different. It works correctly for one time after the watch is restarted, which I guess resets some internal state. But it consistently looks like this on the majority of runs. The “flatline” is always at a different HR - sometimes at a high HR like in the above example and sometimes at a low HR.
Also, to make it clear the “flatline” represents the time before the beginning of a run. In the above example I have been running for 22 minutes but the graph shows about 40 last minutes.
